Typical HEB experience: walking into the produce section with Elvis Costello playing overhead, followed by Oingo Boingo as I head out of the produce section.

We had plumbers in the house on Thursday, and Luna-kitty is still on patrol in case any more strangers show up.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

Now to get all the other "boys" to follow suit

This is out today and you can listen to it now. So proud. hypeddit.com/xmcgtn

If you missed the protest safety, know your rights, and de-escalation training (or you want a reminder before tomorrow’s #NoKings Day), all of the recordings are available here. 👇

Oh, hell. I hadn't heard about that.

My youngest sister is going to be delivering her second child at the end of this month, but it's only possible because she and her husband both work at decently-paying jobs and they have family support. They're not doing it to make RFK the Lesser happy.

Let him redecorate Mar-a-Lago if he wants, but leave the People's House alone.

BREAKING from PP

Everyone, start carrying whistles. It's a fantastic way to alert your community when ICE is active in your area. Best of all it works! It brings folks out and scares ICE away!

Check out the WHISTLE PROTOCOLS 🚨 CODE 1 (ICE nearby) and 🚨CODE RED 2 (ICE detaining someone)

Stay vigilant. Not Silent.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
